Today we have a lovely sponsored tutorial from Baker Ross, a UK-based craft supplier. They’ve offered to share this tutorial with the CTD community-I thought it would be a perfect craft for Vacation Bible School enjoy!

There’s something about stained glass windows which makes me feel very calm and peaceful. Hopefully, they will inspire the same feelings of serenity in children who make arts and crafts versions of the glorious windows you find in churches, chapels, cathedrals and abbeys!

To make a stained glass window hanging decoration you will need the items listed below. All of these craft supplies are available from Baker Ross.

A glue stick

Spring-loaded scissors

Why not try making a stained glass hanging decoration first so that you can teach your children how to make them with real confidence?

The kit has several different designs to make so select the two matching cardboard pieces for the design you want to make first.

Kate (the lady whose hands you can see in the photos) has opted for the window shape.

Put one of your stained glass windows to one side and pop out the jigsaw-style shapes which give the windows their character.

You can start the task in earnest by decorating the top segment of window first. Take some tissue paper and cut it with the scissors so that it fits over the top shape. Remember to leave some space around the edge so that you can glue it to the back of the window!

Glue around the edge of the shape you want to cover and press the tissue paper on to it.

If you turn your window over you should be able to see how your piece of art will look when finished.

Repeat the process so that the other shapes are covered. Make sure to vary the colour of the tissue paper you use – stained glass windows feature all the colours of the rainbow after all!
